Getting and keeping a regular job is out of reach for many transgender
and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) people, and sometimes steady
employment is no better: Whether accused of using the “wrong”
bathroom, harassed for not matching one gender stereotype or another,
or being the only one in the offi ce turned down for medically necessarily
health care, TGNC employees often endure humiliating treatment and
unfair policies every day of the week.

SkyWest Airlines announced in early March that it will offer equal travel benefits to gay and lesbian employees with a same-sex spouse or registered domestic partner, reversing a policy that prompted a warning letter from Lambda Legal in October of last year.
